ISBN: 0745318495

Another groundbreaking study from an acknowledged expert on the art/mass media interaction. Global culture is now dominated by celebrities, some of whom - like Madonna and Stallone - are art collectors; and some - like Dennis Hopper and David Bowie - are spare-time artists. Walker explains how artists such as Warhol, Gavin Turk, Jeff Koons and Elizabeth Peyton contribute to, but also critique, the cult of celebrity by depicting film and rock stars, and Princess Diana, in paintings and statues. Celebritization has overtaken the art world too: Walker surveys fourteen art stars of the twentieth century from Dali to Tracey Emin. He also reviews alternatives: the left wing pantheon of figures such as Mao, Che Guevara and Rosa Luxemburg, and pictorial celebrations of the people. FinallA lively and accessible study of the art world and its interaction with celebrity culture and fame. This is an accessible study of the art world and its interaction with celebrity culture and fame.
